Re: Iup basketball
Admittedly haven't listened to Cal's broadcasters. A lot of the schools have students doing the game. And you get what you pay for with that I guess. You have to start somewhere. I realize that. I've often been criticized on here because I'm too harsh on those students. Be better then. I think your post here accurately describes what I often see. I think these kids don't think anybody is listening. There aren't any "news releases" or breaking news stories in D2 athletics. How exactly does one come up with that story?
I think a lot of them just make stuff up. I've caught the IUP guys doing that.
The other thing is that most of them are just communications media majors. I'm sure very few are tuned into what's going on outside of their own school. The way the guys calling IUP's games talked about Mercyhurst, you would think the Lakers were a four win team. There's too much emphasis from any of the student announcers on the rankings. Football is where it's the worst. As we've all discussed, those polls are normally way off the radar. The students calling these games put way too much stock into them.
I would sacrifice quality in play by play and color ability if I had two students who knew the game and were in tune with D2 athletics. That's all I want. My personal opinion, but I think the two students who do the games for SRU are actually pretty good.
